At the recent Calcalist and Discount Global Economy Conference, Jonathan Lavender, Deputy Senior Partner at KPMG Israel, emphasized the importance of in-office work over remote setups, as shared by Goldman Sachs CEO. He highlighted KPMG’s collaboration with over 100 organizations on AI integration, viewing it as a significant organizational transformation. The main hurdle is not technology adoption but rather encouraging employees to embrace these tools. Lavender noted a survey of 1,300 CEOs revealing confidence in the global economy, but concerns surrounding political events, particularly regarding Trump, affecting executive sentiment. Despite Israel’s tech innovation leadership, he pointed out a crucial gap between technology purchase and implementation coupled with a talent shortage. Organizations must focus on training employees, clearly defining KPIs, and fostering a supportive culture for effective AI integration. Ultimately, the success of technology investments hinges on leadership’s ability to navigate these challenges effectively.
